  if anyone hasn't realised it, you can cripple the enemy in warcraft if they only have one base by killing every peon you can see.. and keep killing them.. regardless the cost... they will be crippled..

  let's try this:
  
  Taipan written on Applesoft taught my friend and myself how to hack into a program, and turn it into a hilarious game where we went out and mugged people
  
  Ultima VI taught me kidnapping as i kidnapped Lord British, put him in a box and carried him with my team and got healing whenever we needed by letting him out of the box for a while
  
  Day of the Tentacle taught me that messing with the time/space continuum may result in hilarious results
  
  also, in Day of the Tentacle, toxic waste may turn Purple Tentacle evil

  Recently, I learnt that I'm a very good paymaster! I love to pay my 'employees' good salaries, and I also give increments regularly.
  
  I've been playing 'Restaurant Empire' by the way. Jolly good fun!

  I learnt from Beach Life that if you select the right brand of beer, price it correctly and give it just the right amount of strength, the hotel patrons would purchase it, get drunk, and then make love indiscriminately on the beaches!

  from the Crimson Room, it led to the Viridian Room.. after which it led to the Blue Chamber...
  
  i learnt that there are strange things which happen to you if you have to escape rooms.. it'll lead you to another room with a skeleton.. and then to a room which... gets weirder and weirder
